Scholarships Now Open

Feb 5, 2020 | All News

The Otsego Community Foundation (OCF) is accepting scholarship applications for graduating seniors as well as current college students starting on February 4, 2020. A total of 15 scholarships will be awarded, ranging from $500-$1,500. General scholarships, as well as areas of interest including agriculture, athletics, community services, education, nursing, science and vocations, are available.

“The amount of scholarships available is a reflection of our generous community and their dedication to education. The majority of the scholarships are set up in memory of a loved one. This is a way to create a legacy as well as support access to higher education,” said Dana Bensinger, OCF Executive Director.

The application process is electronic and all details can be found at www.otsegofoundation.org/apply/scholarships. The completed applications, along with transcripts and two letters of recommendation, must be submitted by March 10, 2020 at midnight. Scholarship winners will be announced during each school's scholarship night or through the mail if recipient is a current college student.

If you have any questions, please contact Amanda Sosa, amanda@otsegofoundation.org or 989-731-0597.
